Bryant said the rock came within inches of the driver.

Bryant tweeted photos that showed the driver's windshield smashed through and the rock on the driver's side floor mat.

“Be cautious of falling rocks with the amount of moisture we’ve had lately,” Bryant said.

Blewett Pass is a mountain pass in the Wenatchee Mountains in central Washington.
